After all she was one of the stars of one of the most successful tv sitcoms ever ("Friends"), she was married to one of the sexiest guys alive (Brad Pitt) and her hairstyles used to be salon sensations back when Justin Bieber was only in diapers.
(Yes, it's true! Justin Bieber was born in March of 1994 and "Friends" debuted in September 1994. Jennifer Aniston came to success because of the show and the haircut that became known as "The Rachel". One can almost imagine that young Justin, nursing on a baby bottle, caught a glimpse of the tv show and it imprinted on him the way a gosling imprints on a stylish tennis ball as the infant Justin exclaimed "Someday I will have a hairstyle that will cause a world-wide sensation and
create international news when I later cut my trend-setting locks." That and the fact that he probably listened to Baby Mozart combined to make him the star he is today.)Back to Ms. Aniston...
She had it all superstar fame, an Adonis-like husband, status as a fashion icon...
And now all she has is success and lots and lots of money.
So thank god for People magazine and its cover story on Jennifer Aniston!
In "Jen's Most Revealing Interview Ever!" she talks about dating, babies and exes. Her exes include Gerard Butler, John Mayer, Vince Vaughn and of course, Mr. Big X, Brad Pitt so she has quite a bit to talk about in that category.
But the thing that made me laugh is the small print on the cover. "Over cocktails and girl talk, the world's most misunderstood star sets the record straight: 'I'm happy! Really!'"
First of all: I don't think a person can do anything "over girl talk" -- one might say "Over beer and nachos" or "Over wine and cocktails", but you can't say "Over cocktails and girl talk". Being a guy, I'm not 100% sure what constitutes 'girl talk' but it probably involves two or more girls, at least a little bit of alcohol and a complete lack of recording devices. So I don't think an interview is ever honest-to-goodness 'girl talk'.
But the magazine loses all grasp on reality when it calls her "The world's most misunderstood star".
Tom Cruise would have taken that crown as he jumped the couch on Oprah back in 2005, but then he would have had to battle Mel Gibson in 2006 after the former Mad Max star's infamous arrest and his dazzling "What are you looking at, Sugar Tits?" comment.Christian Bale was heir apparent to the throne due to his meltdown on the set of "Terminator Salvation" that became public in 2009, but he has obviously redeemed himself in Hollywood's eyes because he won an Academy Award this week and the Oscar never goes to someone who is despised.
So the crown of Most Misunderstood Star has to go to Mel Gibson who managed to one up himself with last year's incredibly shocking tirade against his ex-wife and the mother of his daughter (one of eight children he has sired) when he called her a whore and threatened to bury her in a rose garden.
Tom Cruise, Christian Bale and Mel Gibson: if there was a cover interview with any of them, surely they would deserve the title of Most Misunderstood Star.
And considering all the crazy press interviews that he is doing and his years of drug-assisted sexual shenanigans, Mr. Charlie Sheen deserves the title more than any of them (but I doubt Charlie Sheen cares because he is so messed up that he actually believes that everyone wants to be like him).Ahhh People Magazine: Jennifer Aniston's life is a story of success and loss and then getting over that loss with the help of friends and lots and lots of money. But couldn't the editors, at the very least, have ensured that the crown title of Most Misunderstood Star was securely hers before Charlie Sheen came and ripped it from her grasp? Because now she has one more thing to add to the list of things she's lost.
But at least she's happy. Really!
